Déjà 3 visites au Restaurant Benjamin & jamais déçue! L'ambiance est magnifique autant de jour que de soir : lumineuse le midi, feutrée & chaleureuse en soirée, avec une musique toujours parfaite pour discuter.

Le service est exceptionnel, les cocktails & la nourriture sont simplement exquis. Gros coup de coeur pour leur espresso Martini, la bavette de boeuf, la soupe à l'oignon & le pain avec le beurre à la truffe. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner pour essayer leur viande premium & le crab cake!

We came here for a birthday as a group & for an upscale restaurant we were a little dissapointed with the service. Lots of errors were made throughout the night like dropping an entire plate of drinks on us accidentally (which stained my satin shirt), bringing us someone's elses cake by accident before we had even received our appetizers, giving us meat bouchées when we told our waitress that 2 of us were pescetarian (including the birthday girl but thankfully we had the intelligence to ask before eating), bringing out the entire cake lit up that we brought without even asking us if the timing was good or warning us so we didn't even have our cameras ready & missed a part of the filming etc. They didn't even present our plates when they brought us our food (which normally I wouldn't care so much, but we are in an upscale restaurant it is part of the upscale service normally). The drinks that were dropped were not charged thankfully, but they charged us 7$ a head for cutting our cake (so for the table 42$ when the cake already cost 100$ to make) which wasn't even mentionned when we reserved the restaurant & brought the cake. Honestly at that point, cutting the cake should have been free, but 7$ a head is ridiculous & overpriced. Let's just say I wasn't shy to ask the manager to give us at least some free shots for the evening we just had, which they did without fault. What saved our experience is that honestly the food was incredible everything we ordered was delicious. Also the music for a saturday evening was really a vibe killer, at 10pm the restaurant was already pretty dead. They should play some better lounge music because it is a restaurant that has alot of potential to be before going out in Montréal.

Excellent cake crab avec une fine touche de caviar, le martini perfect, un pur délice, les artichauts & le beurre aux truffes sublimes. Henriette, notre serveuse, est fantastique, d'un professionnalisme & d'une gentillesse inouïs. Benjamin, merci !

The food was okay, the portion was quite small & not as presentable as I had anticipated. The service on the other hand was slow. Everyone was nice but it took quite some time to receive our food or anything. Raphael was our server & he was very friendly & attentive, but after his shift ended we had a different server that didn't come to see us once. We had brought a birthday cake as well that they didn't inform us of a service charge of $7 per person to cut the cake, which we didn't mind but at least inform us in advance, well the hostess when we had given her the cake.

Was out for dinner with an advisor of mine & the scene was very nice here. Quiet enough for good conversation.

We were seated right away without rsvp.

Service was excellent & provided good recommendations. You have to try the crispy blood sausage - this was suggested as very popular so had to try. It was so delicate but still had a bite. I also ordered the crab cakes & was nicely done.

What was disappointing was my dry aged sirloin. I ordered it medium rare, but had a very inconsistent temperature. Flavor wise, it was very beefy & had a nice crust to it. I might have been happier with the filet.

They brought out small hors d'oeuvres which were lovely.

Our waitress was super nice, had great suggestions & was helpful with the menu.

Would come back to try other cuts of beef. Will update hopefully soon .

J'ai été au Benjamin pour la première fois dernièrement & j'ai vraiment aimé. Un excellent service de la part de Joseph, super efficace dans ses recommendations!

J'ai essayé le crab cake en entrée, la magret de canard pour mon repas & l'omelette norvégienne pour le désert. La viande était vraiment tendre, j'ai particulièrement aimé la sauce (je crois c'était à l'orange).

Il y a aussi une vaste sélection de martini pour les cocktails, je recommande le Martinez 🍸
